Merritt

Merritt combines a deep ranching tradition with the practical role of an Interior highway hub in a way that reflects its position in British Columbia’s Nicola Valley. The Nicola and Coldwater rivers meet near the city, in a broad, dry valley framed by rolling grasslands and forested uplands. Merritt is closely associated with ranching, a legacy reflected in local events and in the city’s identity as Canada’s Country Music Capital. The Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame has long been based here, while the Coquihalla Highway and routes toward Kamloops, the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland make the city an important regional crossroads.
